How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T1632104 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07

Target entity: QUIC TLS usage specification
Context triple: [IETF QUIC Working Group, product, QUIC TLS usage specification]

A. QUIC
QUIC is a modern, multiplexed transport protocol developed by Google and standardized by the IETF that runs over UDP to provide faster, more secure, and reliable web connections than traditional TCP-based HTTPS.
B. DNS over QUIC (DoQ)
DNS over QUIC (DoQ) is a modern DNS transport protocol that uses the QUIC encrypted, multiplexed UDP-based transport to provide faster, more secure, and more reliable DNS queries than traditional methods.
C. RFC 8446
RFC 8446 is the Internet standard that specifies TLS 1.3, a major revision of the Transport Layer Security protocol focused on improved security and performance for encrypted communications.
D. HTTP/3
HTTP/3 is the third major version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, built on the QUIC transport protocol to provide faster, more reliable, and secure web communication.
E. DTLS
DTLS (Datagram Transport Layer Security) is a protocol that provides TLS-like encryption, integrity, and authentication for datagram-based communications such as UDP.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
